I'm from St. Louis, for better or worse.  I am a poet, photographer, professional transcriptionist, & academic editor. My poetic body of work seeks to give voice to a queer sense of mourning in neoliberal America, whether that be through a queering of ecopolitics (see "nendo dango", "seacall") or a repositioning of perspective on religion and American history (see "memento, homo"). In this vein, I am preparing a chapbook for post-graduate studies.
